1 year from surgery
I am only like 3 months out, but I have noticed a tightening in my chest when I get stressed out, normally over stupid crap. I don't know for sure, but I have been reading on here a lot and many, many people have said that stress, morning time and your TOM were all things that could attribute to a tightening of the band. Maybe keep a tiny notebook in your purse and when you notice it write down what's going on or yes or no to being stressed or rushed etc. It might help you pinpoint it. It seems the band can be a finicky thing. I have days I'm starving and then will go 2 weeks without being hungry at all.
Hang in there!!! :)
